Goal to develop fifteen new units across the market.

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite®, a salon suite franchise that focuses on providing stylists and beauticians a personal space to build their business and the beauty industry’s future, is looking to expand into the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario region by developing fifteen new locations.

“The Riverside-San Bernardino market presents a great expansion opportunity for MY SALON Suite,” said Ken McAllister, the co-founder and CEO of MY SALON Suite. “The new year marks a time where many people decide that they want to work for themselves and a MY SALON Suite franchise offers a solution to those looking to begin their own business. We offer franchisees a semi-passive owner experience, allowing them a way to own a franchise without the need to manage employees and oversee every operation of their retail location.”

MY SALON Suite is a salon suite franchise that focuses on providing stylists and beauticians a personal space to build their business. They decorate their suite, use their own branding, set their hours, prices, and manage their own client lists and business. In addition, the MY SALON Suite franchise owners serve as landlords who recruit and rent space to health and beauty professionals.

“MY SALON Suite is a good, stable organization that allows me to gain income while keeping my day job,” said Ed Mossuto, co-owner of a MY SALON Suite franchise in California. “The franchise has good, honest, hardworking people that can help walk franchisees through the process of opening a franchise. I knew nothing about beauty or construction when I joined the franchise, so if I did not have a partner like MY SALON Suite to tell me how it worked, I don’t know if I would be successful.”

In June 2021, Suite Management Franchising, LLC, the parent company of MY SALON Suite and Salon Plaza, was acquired by Propelled Brands. Propelled Brands is using its unparalleled resources, support, and training to accelerate growth and expand Suite Management Franchising’s footprint across the country.

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite set a company fundraising record in September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month raising more than $120,000 through the company’s Suite Relief Fund™, for the benefit of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital^® as well as company employees.

The salon suite franchise set an initial goal of raising $35,000, but surpassed that amount through the generous donations from clients, Members, Franchise Partners, vendors and the Suite Management Franchising team. Because of generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

“It’s truly gratifying to see our team exceed our fundraising goals each year. The amount of money that we raised in just one month for St. Jude, an organization that has saved so many lives, is more than what we raised in each of the three previous years,” said Ken McAllister, the co-founder, and CEO of MY SALON Suite. “It’s the desire of our community to go beyond our walls to make the world a little brighter, and we plan to keep expanding our efforts and making a difference.”

Suite Management Franchising, the parent company of MY SALON Suite and Salon Plaza, started its partnership with St. Jude in 2018 when it launched the Suite Relief Fund™. Since the inception of the partnership, the Suite Relief Fund has contributed $250,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Continued support helps fuel the St. Jude $11.5 billion, six-year strategic plan, which includes tripling its global investment to impact the more than 400,000 kids with cancer around the world each year.

Additionally, in August, The Suite Relief Fund distributed $52,500 to MY SALON Suite members in New Orleans who were impacted by Hurricane Ida through a partnership with the PBA’s Disaster Relief Fund.
